Rosenkreutzstillette

Bit of a mouthful, no? This is a japanese platformer, and it's not easy! There is a free demo to try out. However, you may need a bit of jgame knowhow to get it running smoothly. (Short explanation - Use microsoft's AppLocale set to Japanese to launch the exe, or it crashes when it reaches the menu screen. Also, standard jgame controls are arrow keys, Z, X, and sometimes C... but the game desc suggests a joytstick with six buttons is desired, so there's probably more keys than that in use.)

This game is a 2D side scrolling action platformer.The way to use the various weapons (magic) you can gain from defeating bosses is the key to the game's strategy.
